No one is forcing you to try anything you don't want to.

Out of all those posts you just showed us all, how many were seriously injured?

It doesn't matter, right? I'll stick with mine. My post was just to remind everyone to check everything about their equipment.

EDIT* I might also add that this is the first time that this has ever happened to me. Before I changed my strings/loop I had 5,000+ shots with that one loop. I paid less attention when I tied it this time and an accident happened. It was my fault, not the loop's.
